OCALA -- An argument between two men that resulted with one of the men firing a shot at the other man and his family, led to the arrest of the shooter on Friday, according to authorities.

Before the shooting, deputies said there was a verbal argument between John Kyle Chesnet and another man.

The victim said he, his wife and three children were driving in the 4600 block of Northwest 61st Street when Chesnet drove by them, pointed a handgun at the vehicle and fired a shot, which missed them.

Deputy Brian Follett saw the vehicle described by the witnesses as the one Chesnet was driving, stopped it and detained Chesnet. A passenger in Chesnet's vehicle said Chesnet fired the shot at the victim's vehicle and told her to stop down the road, at which point he placed the gun, a 9mm handgun, in the trunk.

After deputies recovered the weapon, Chesnet, 27, was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail, where he faced eight charges. Some of the charges include displaying a firearm during a felony, firing a weapon from a vehicle and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
